Somewhere on this forum I read a thread that claimed that all new Apple devices would require 2FA, with no option to opt out.
I have a couple of questions:
1) What if a person only has one Apple device, how do they receive the code? I have an iPhoneSE and a mid 2011 iMac. When the phone is too outdated to use, I will not have another iPhone. My Mac is getting old. I really like the Mac, but the 2FA might be a deal breaker for myself in terms of getting a new one, as it might be my only Apple device. My kids and half of my grandkids all have iPhones, and no other Apple devices.
2) How often will the 2FA code be asked for. If a person turns off the iPhone to go to the theatre, or any other reason, when it is turned back on will the 2FA code be required? If one is away from home and only carrying the phone, how do they get the 2FA code if it is required? I have a vacation spot with very limited cell phone reception. I only turn my iPhone on once a day to check messages.
Thanks
